The "George Jackson" single featured the same song on both the A-side and B-side of the 45.One side was a so-called 'big band' version to differentiate from Dylan's solo acoustic version on the reverse side.The big band version is the one found on the Austrailian album and CD release "Masterpieces".Dylan's solo acoustic performance (IMHO the better of the two) has never been on CD anywhere in the world until its release on the "Listen, Whitey" collection.

Hi Rockman;yes I guess they can; but I think Bob knows about every trick in the business. You could accuse Bob for a lot of things; but not for being a "money grabbing artist". In fact Bob Dylan is one of the only artists which we all can afford to go see live in concert

When it comes to "George Jackson" - I do have the 7" single. Very nice tune; but it seems like a "learning"-piece to "Hurricane", in retrospect. Which is probably why it has been somwwhat forgotten.
